Application filed August 20, 1884. Serial No.l4=1,088. (No model.)

v States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inGrain-Binding Harvesters, of which the following is a full description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1is'a perspective view illustrating the devices pertaining to thisinvention; Fig. 2, a rear elevation; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section;Figi 4, a top or plan view; Figs. 5 and 6, details of the sprocket-wheeland its supporting-bracket for driving the conveyer; Figs. 7 and 8,details showing one of the grain-carrying disks and its teeth; Fig. 9, adetail, being a perspective view of the sickle-pitman andclearing-tooth; Figs. 10 and 1l, details showing the clutch; Figs. 12and 13, details showing the devices for holdingthe stop-arm out ofengagement; Fig. 14, a detail showing the 'connection of the pitman withthe sickle.

` My invention consists in the construction and combination of parts ina grain-binding harvester, as hereinafter specified in the claimsannexed to this specification.

In the drawings a complete grain-binding harvesteris not represented,but only so much of the frame-work as is necessary to illustrate thelocation and arrangementof the devices pertaining to this invention, andthe parts not represented maybe of the usual construction, arrangement,and operation of suchomitted parts.

A represents the finger-beam or front sill of a harvester; A', the rearsill of the receiving-platform, A, the sills which support thebinder-frame, and AS crosssills supporting the binder end of the frontand rear sills 'and the sills on which the binder-frame is mounted 5 B,the upper arm or section of the gear-stand ard; B', the lowerarm orsection; and

v B is a standard or post connecting the upper `and lower arms. .Theupper and lower arms, as shown, are in the form of tubular sleeves toform bearings for the shaft which carries the main driving-wheel of thebinding devices and the shaft which carries the binding-arm, as shown inFig. 1, and, as shown,

this standard is bolted or otherwise sc cured to the front one of thesills, A, by the bottom or foot B3; but the front sill, A could bedispensed with and the foot B3 be secured f on top of the sill A. Thisfoot or extension B3 also furnishes a support and bearing for thecrank-shaft, by which the packing-teeth are operated, and from this footB3 projects upward a supporting piece or standard, B4, which isconnected by an arm, B5, with the post or standard B, and furnishes asupport for the butter, driving-shaft, and trip-clutch.

O is a compressor-finger, also forming the tripping-finger for throwinginto operation the driving-gear which operates the binding devices. Thislinger O is mounted on the end Vof a shaft, O', which has its bearingsin a heel or extension, a, on the upright B, and to this shaft O isattached an arm or crank, C,

located on its opposite end outside of the post or upright B, whichcrank or. arm O, as well as the finger C, maybe keyed or otherwisesecurely fastened to the rock-shaft C. As shown, the end of the crank orarm C is provided with a hole to receive the lower end of aconnecting-rod, b, which passes through a cylinder orltube, c, in whichis a central opening, c', which receives a coil-spring, c, the upper endof which is in contact with an adjustable turnbuckle, h, on the rod b.The rod b is in two parts, one of which is' passed through the cylinderc and receives the turnbuckle and collar b on its upper end above thecylinder, and carries a head, b3, on its lowerl end beneath thecylinder. The upper part of the lower section of the rod b is hookedinto the lower end of the head b3. The spring c encircles theconnecting-rod Z) in the tube c, and one end of the spring rests on thebottom of the cylinder c, with its other end in contact with theturn-buckle b. This spring 4 c is compressed as the finger C is turneddown by the gavel compacted against it, and

IOO

spring act and return the iinger after the trip has been made tooperate, and it also enables the proper length of connecting-rod to bemade to suit the required movement of the combined compressor andtrip-finger, to cause such finger to act at the proper time for thedifferent operations required of it.

D is a bell-crank lever, one arm of which, (l, has thereon the casing ortube c, and the other arm, d', of which carries aroller,d", as shown inFig. 2. This bell-crank lever or arm D is pivoted to the standard orpost B" at the point d3, as shown in Fig. 3, so that it is free tovibi'ate on its pin or pivot and give a vibratory movement to the box orcasin g c, by means of which the connecting rod or pitman is forced orcarried down, the crank or arm C throwing the compressor-finger back soas not to oppose the forward movement of the grain, leaving a clearspace for the passage of the bundle from the binder.

E is the main gear-wheel for operating the binding devices, which wheelis mounted on the end of a shaft, E', which runs or has its bearing inthe sleeve B. The inner face of this wheel E, within its periphery,isprovided with a cam-groove formed by an exterior wall, E", and aninterior wall, E3, leaving between them a groove having a circular form,c, around the shaft E' as a center, with diagonal curved extensions c'on each side leading therefrom and connected by a semicircular groove,e", as shown in Figs. l and 3, and in this groove e e' e" the roller d"at the bend of the arms d d of the bell-crank D travels as the wheel Erevolves, giving the bell-crank lever a Vibratory movement, by means o'fwhich and the yielding or spring connection an elastic vibration isgiven to the finger C. This gear E, on its periphery, is also providedwith a circular ange or track, E4, located just within the interior lineof the cogs of the gear, which flange or track extends half-way, ornearly so, of the entire circumference of the gear, as shown in Figs. land 3.

F is the driving-pinion for rotating` the gear-wheel E, with' the cogsof which the cogs of the pinion F mesh. This pinion is mounted on ashaft,F,which shaft has its bearings in an arm or support, B, extendingup from the arm B5 between the posts or uprights B" B4. The pinion F ismounted on its shaft F so as to be loose thereon; but the shaft has acontinuous rotation from the pulley or wheel F", which is keyed orotherwise firmly secured to the end of the shaft and is driven by abeltor chain, as hereinafter described. As shown, the box or bearing for theshaft F' is on the arm B6; but it might be located in some other manner,so long as its position is such as to bring the wheels E and F intomesh. The inner face of the pinion has pivoted thereto by a suitable pinor pivot, f ,a dog or catch, G', one end of which has a heel orprojection, f, and the other a stop or projectionLf, and, as shown, thisdog or catch G' is held in its erect position by a spring, f3, one endof which is secured to the dog or catch and the other to the face of thepinion in such manner as to have the spring act to throw the dog up whenreleased from the clutch-tripping lever.

G is the driver keyed or otherwise firmly secured to the shaft F', so asto rotate with the shaft. This driver is provided with rollers g g, andthe path described lby the rollers is such that they pass through theopening bctweenthe heel f and stop j" when the dog or catch G' is in itserect position, as. shown in Fig. 2, so that the driver' is free torotate without engaging the dog or catch, but when the dog or catch isreleased andA thrown down the heel or face f is raised sufficiently tobe engaged by one of the rollers g of the driver G, and when so engagedthe driver G and pinion F are locked together, driving the pinion as theshaft F' is rotated.

H is a clutch-tripping lever, arranged to have its acting end h' engagewith the projection or stop f', of the dog or catch G' and hold the dogor catch in its erect position, so as not to be engaged by rollers uponthe driving-wheel, and the opposite end, h, of this lever H, as shown,is rounded and passes through the eye or loop b on the end of theturn-buckle b", attached to the spring-rod b, which turnbuckle may bescrew-threaded onto the rod so that it can be adjusted to give theproper pitch to the clutch-tripping lever to engage the dog or catchwith greater or less force, to suit the desired size of the gavel.

I is a bracket or arm bolted or otherwise secured to the post orstandard B", and hav ing on its outer face a tubular bearing for thepassage of a bolt or rivet, i', by means of which a swinging arm orbracket, I', is pivotally connected to the stationary arm or bracket Iin such manner as to swing in or out, and to this arm or bracket I', bya suitable pin or pivot, 3, is pivotally connected the locking-lever H.The arm h of the lever H engages at the rear of the pivot 3 with the endt' of the bracket I, forming a fnlcrum or turning-point, by means ofwhich, as thc bracket or arm I' is swung forward, the acting end h' ofthe lever will be thrown out of position sidewise and held so as to beheld out of line with the arln or bracket I' as it is thrown forward tocarry the end of the locking-lever out of line of the dog or catch bythe flange or track E", on which an anti-friction roller, i, on t-he endof the arm or bracket Il travels as the wheel E is rotated, and, asshown, the arm or bracket is forced back after the roller 1'." leavesthe track E* by a springplunger; but somo other means could be used forthis purpose. Y

J is a spring-bolt or plunger, located in a tube o1` bearing, J', on anarm, J which arm J is attached by a bolt, j, to the post or standard B",which boltj3 also serves to sccure the bracket or arm I in position. The

engaging end j of the bolt J is flattened, as shown, and enters a slot,j', in t-he bearing J',

ICO

andthe plunger is projected bya spring, j, `located in the. tube Jf.When the lockinglever H is forced forward and out of engagement withvthe dog G', the starting plunger or lgrain sufficiently far to rock theshaft C and .throw 'down the crank H Cfsuch movement will, through therod b, draw down the endv hof the locking-lever H, throwing up theengaging end h of such lever, andl releasing the dog or catch G', whichis then thrown forward by the action of the' spring f3 suffi# ciently tobring its heel f into position to be engaged by one of the rollers g ofthe driver G, making a connection between the driver vices.

G andthe pinion F, by which rotation is imparted to the pinion, andthrough it to the gear-,wheel E, to operate the binding de The wheelEmakes one complete revolution to ,bind a bundle, and as this wheel isof greater diameter than its driving-pinion F somemeans must beVprovided yto hold the locking-lever H and prevent it fromengaging thedog or. catch and stopping the movement vof the binder before thebinding operation is completed. The locking-lever H is held out ofengagement through the swinging arm or bracket I', to whichA it ispivoted, and thefulcrum formed by the `end t' of the bracket l inconnection with the movements of the pivoted arm D. The finger C, whensufficient grain for a bundle has accumulated, as already described,trips the locking-lever, allowing` the driver G to engage with the dogor catch G', connecting the pinion F with the drivingshaft Fand rotatingthe wheel E, and as the wheel rotates the anti-friction roller d, isacted on bythe groove e e ef, giving the pivoted lever Da vibratorymovement as the roller passesintoj different channels Vof the groove.The roller, at the commencement of the movement is located at a point inthe Agroove,vas shown in Fig. 3, and first passes around in the circularportion e of the, groove,

thence into the radial 4curved portionje,` .into theendportion, e, andthence intothe side groove, e, on the starting side, back .tothestarting-point, which line of travel gives the required 4movement to thearm or lever D for the operation of the compressorfinger C. Thelocking-lever H, after being tripped or released by the depression ofthe finger C, is carried forward by the roller t" onthe swinging` arm orbracket I,which passes onto the track or iiange E4, throwing `thebracket or arm I forward and carrying the locking- .lever to oneside atitsacting end It', so as to Vclear the stop f as the pinion F revolves,and after the roller t leaves the end of this an'ge l E4 thelocking-lever has its forward end depressed by the position of theroller d in the cam-groove e 'e' e, and as the wheel E completes itsrotation the forward end, h', of the locking-lever is returned, by theaction of the rod b, spring c, and spring-plunger J, into position toengagethe stop f and raise the dog G, unlocking the dog from the driverand allowing the driver and shaft to rotate `without imparting rotationto the pinion F, which unlocking of the driver and the dog takes placeas the roller d passes to the position shown in Fig. 3, stopping furthermovement of the binder. By this arrangement it will be seen that thecompressor-iinger forms a trip torelease the locking-lever from theclutch-dog; that after the Alever H isreleased its engaging end h isthrown out of line of qthe clutch-dog by the action of the fulcrum andswinging lever l through the engagement of the roller i with the trackE4; that as the roller leaves the track the end h 4Vis returned to aposition to engage the clutchdog by the action of the plunger J; thatthis Aacting end h of the lever H is raised and lowered as the roller dtravelsin its cam-groove e e e by the action of such cam-groove androller and the spring c on the rod l), the result being that the dog andlever H are disengaged and engaged at the proper time to start-,and stopthe binder.

K is a sprocket-wheel mounted upon a shaft,

K', which has its bearing in a swinging or piv- IOO oted frame orsupport attached to the bracing of the binder-frame, and between thesprock- Vet-wheelK and'its frame or support on the A shaft K is. locateda gear-wheel, K, which meshes with a gear-wheel, K3, on the end of acrank-shaft, K4. The frame or supportfor the shaft K is pivotedor hungon the, shaft K4, and the frame 7c is provided on each end k with aslot, lo, through which bolts k3 pass for clamping the frame to thebracing K5.

IIO

These slots le ermit a Swingin@` movement of the frame or support Zr.,by which the wheel K can be made to act as a chain-tightener to take upany slack there may be in the driving-chain. ,The crank-shaft K4 is madeup ofV sections havinO crank-arms 7g4 arranged alternately on oppositesides of the shaft, as shown l in Fig. 4, and this shaft is mounted insuitable bearings located on a bracing or support, K5, and arms K6,extending downward out from a frontcross-bar, K7, which bar may be ofthe form of construction shown or otherwise. The bracing K5 is bolted atits one end to the post B4, and its other end is turned downv and boltedtothe front sill, A or A. ylhe front end Vof the cross-bar KT is boltedto the brace K5 and its rear end is turned down and bolted vto the rearsill, A', in the form of construction shown.

L are disks, each having a diameter larger than thatof the circledescribed by the cranks 7a4, and Vthese disks are secured in any firmmanner on the shaft K4 to have a disk lie between two adjacent cranks,164, with sufficient space between the disk and the cranks for thelocation of the carrying-teeth L', a tooth being provided for each sideof each disk, and each tooth is pivoted between the disk and crank atthe outer end of the crank bya suitable pin or pivot, I, which passesthrough the head of the tooth, and is secured in any suitable manner inthe disk. Each tooth L' is provided on its heel portion with a tubularbearing, L", through which passes a rod, L3, one end of which ispivotally secured between ears l' on the under face of a cross timber orpiece, L4, running from the front to the rear of the machine, and eachrod L3 is of sufficient length for the full stroke of the crank, so asto support the sliding bearing L" during the entire revolution of thecrank, and by means of this sliding socket L" and the pivotedsupporting-rod Ls each tooth L is maintained in a proper relation toenter and carry forward the grain, and is also held from flying outduring the revolution of the crank.

M is a sprocket-wheel mounted on a shaft, M', which shaft is supportedin suitable bearings on the bottom B3 of the binder-frame. The innerface of the wheel M is provided with an internal gear, m, which mesheswith a pinion, m', on the end of the shaft which carries theclearing-roller M", which roller is located at the delivery end of theplatformcarrier, and furnishes the means for passing the grain from thecarrier and for preventing it from passing around with the carrier.

N is a sprocket-wheel secured to the end of a crank-shaft, N', whichshaft, as shown, has one of its bearings in the bottom B3 of thebinder-frame, and its other bearings in a support extending up from theinner cross-piece, A3. This shaft N' is provided with two cranks, n,standing in opposite directions in relation to each other, and with athird crank, n', for the attachment of the pit-man rod n", by means ofwhich the sickle is driven,while the cranks n operate the packing-arms,so that this same shaft N' performs both offices of driving the sickleand operating the packing arms or teeth, thus dispensing with a separateshaft for operating thc sickle, as has heretofore been practiced.

O represents the packing-fingers, two being provided in the form ofconstruction shown; but more maybe used, if desired, by addingadditional cranks n to correspond with the number of lingers. Eachpacking-finger has its acting end formed into two fingers, o, as shownin Figs. 1 and 3, and the opposite end of the body of the finger has arounded portion, o', which passes through a guide, O', on the frame-workof the machine to maintain the fingers in proper working relation.

l is the binding-arm formed of a single curved piece, as shown in Figs.l and 3, with an opening in its end, as usual, for the passage of thebinding-cord. This arm is firmly attached at its heel or butt-end to ashaft, p, passing through the tubulaiarm B', and is operated by a crank,p and a coimecting-rod,

p, the upper end of which rod is connected to a wrist-pin on the wheelE, and its lower end is pivotally connected to the crank p', crank whichis firmly secured to the shaft p, so as to throw the arm up and down.

Q is a frame of a stirrup shape, having attached to its upper end a rodor link (not shown) through which and a suitable lever within reach ofthe driver (not shown) the frame Q can be slid back and forth on theshaft F', 011 which shaft the frame is mounted, the shaft passingthrough an opening in the frame and an opening in the hub of the bevelgear-whcel r, located within the opening of the frame, which wheelmeshes with a corresponding wheel, r', as shown in Figs. l and 3. Thewheel r is secured on the end of a vertical shaft, r", which passesthrough the sleeve portion Q' of the frame Q and drives the roller orpulley R', by means of which the adj ust ing-belt for the butts of thegrain is driven. The bevel-wheel o" is keyed or otherwise secured to theshaft F', so as to be revolved thereby, but free to move longitudinallythereon, by which m eans the bevel gear-wheels r fr' and the frame Q canbe moved fore and aft on the machine to bring the adjuster belt orcanvas in proper relation for the length of grain.

R is the adjuster belt or canvas having slats on its exterior face, asshown, but which may be a plain canvas, if so desired. This canvas issupported on a suitable frame, one end of which comprises a roller, R",that is journaled in iixed bearings, so as to occupy a permanentposition, and the opposite end carries the roller R for driving thecanvas, which roller is driven by the shaft r of the gear-wheel r', sothat the grain or receiving end of the adjuster belt or canvas remainsstationary or fixed, while the delivery end can be changed to suit thelength of grain.

S is the retainer, made of a piece of board or other suitable materialand fixed to an arm, Q", projecting out from the sleeve Q', which boardor retainer is arranged in such relation to the inner end of theadjuster canvas or belt as to prevent endwise movement of the grain,which is liable to occur when the machine is tilted or inclined in orderto lower the cut, by which means the tendency of the grain to moveforward out of position is obviated, and the tendency of the adjuster toso move the grain by its constant movement is overcome, and it will benoticed that this board, being carried by the sleeve which carries thedriving-shaft for the adjusting belt or canvas, maintains the samerelation to the belt or canvas in whatever position the adjuster' may beplaced. As shown, the retainer is supported by a strap, s, bolted to thearm Q" at one end and to the retainer on its rear face.

T is the driving-chain ruiming around the whceels F", K, M, and N, fordriving the respective shafts to which these wheels are attached, andimparting rotation to the binding IOO IIO

devices, the delivering and stripping roller,

and the packing arms or fingers, which chain is driven from the main ordrive wheel in any usual and well-known manner.

Uis a finger projecting up from one end` of a bar, U, in which' is alongitudinal slot, U. The slot U has located therein two half-boxes, ttcy, which receive the crank n of the crankshaft N and make a connectionbetween thecrank-shaft and the pitman-rod n, which rod isscrew-threaded, as shown, into the end of the finger U, so as to be inline with the body of the support U The outer face of the halfbox treceives the end of a set screw or bolt, u, by means of which.V thehalf-boxes can be tightened and loosened to lproperly encircle the crankn', and, as shown, the bar U is provided `with a tube, u, in which is anopening leading to the half-boxes, by means of which the parts can beproperly lubricated, .which tube is kept closed `by a keeperftt, whichis held down by means of a spring, d3, as shown in Fig. 9. This oil-boxu enables a quantity of oil to be supplied, by which the parts will bekept lubricated for a considerable time, thus obviating the necessity offrequent oiling. Y

As shown, the support A for the inner end of the bearing B is in theform of an arched bar, the ends of' which rest on the cross-pieces A3,as shown in Figs. l and 3, and the inner end of B is provided with aforwardly-proj ectng foot, 0L', which can be bolted to the arched bar Aand firmly support the end of B', and this end of B is provided with arearwardly-projecting arm, d, which supports and forms a bearing for theinner end of the rock-shaft C of the trip and compressorfinge] C. Asshown, the cross-piece L4 is supported by a bar, L5, to the forward endof which the cross-piece is bolted, and the rear end of which is securedby suitable bolts to -ears on the bearing B, the inner end of L5 forminga half-circle to properly encircle the tube B. The clearing-roller M islocated to have its under face come slightly below the upper face oftheplatform-carrier, the result being that this roller forms a travelingstop, by which the. grain delivered by the platform-carrier will beacted on and, to a large extent, straightened before it passes onto thebinding or `receiving table, M3, and this straightening action isfurther facilitated by the ineline M4, up which the grain must travelbefore passing onto the receiving-table, which incline is located insuch relation to the carrying-fingers L as to have such fingers act andassist in carrying the grain up the incline. Y

The cutting apparatus, reel, inner and outer divider, main or drivewheel, and other devices belonging to harvesting-machines are notrepresented, as they may be of any of the usual and well-known forms ofconstruction and arrangement. The delivery end of the platform-carrieris shown, and a small porpacking-fingers, and in such relation thereto ias to have their acting ends during their forward movement projectthrough` slots O." in the platform, and engage and move lthe grainforward against the compressor-finger, and this grain carried forward bythe action of the fingers O is packed against the finger C, and when asufficient quantity of the 'grain is accumulated the pressure of thegrain, as it is advanced by the packers O, carries the compressor-fingerC back sufficiently far to rock the shaft C and throw down thecrank C,andv through the connecting-rod b b disengage the end of the stoparmorrlever H from the dog or catch G, allowingthe driver G to engage withthe dog or catch and rotate the pinion F, which imparts rotation to thewheel E and starts the binding devices. As the wheel E commences itsrotation, the binding-arm is carried up, forcing the point thereofthrough the accumulated grain, and separating the grain for the bundlefrom the infiowing grain, the binding-arm forming a stop for theiniowing grain. The bindingarm continues its advance movement until thegavel is encompassed by the bindingcord and the' cord brought in properposition for the tying devices on the end of the shaft E', which devicesmay be of any usual and Awell-known form to act and tie the knot andsever the cord. The encompassing of the bundle and the binding operationrequire one complete revolution of the wheel Egand during this completerevolution the locking arm or lever H is held out of contact with thedog or catch G by the swinging arm or hanger I, as already described. Asthe binding-arm commences its upward movement, the roller d engages withthe circular portion e of its cam-groove, holding the finger C, in orderthat the grain for the bundle may be compressed between it and thebinding-arm, which compression takes place while the binding-armascends. When the roller engages with the part e of the groove, thefinger is dropped to permit the discharge of the bound bundle, to beagain raised as the roller on the bell-crank engages the portion e3 ofthe camgroove, and maintained in that position, at which time thelocking arm or lever H is brought into position to engage the dog orcatch G and unlock the driver from the pinion F and stop furtherrotation of the wheel E and further movement'of the binding, devices, atwhich time the binding-arm has vreturned to its normal position and theparts IOO IIO

IIS

are in the position shown in Fig. 3. The grain as it leaves the deliveryend of the carrier-platform passes over the stripping and deliveringroller M and is engaged by the teeth L and carried forward to beoperated on by the packing-fingers and forced by the action of thesefingers against the compressor, and the fingers L being arranged inpairs alternately on each side of their carryingshaft, two or morefingers engage with the grain at the same time and carry it forward, andwhen one set of these fingers pass from the grain the other fingers comeinto operation to engage the grain and carry it forward, by which meansthe grain is forced forward continuously; and it will be seen that thefingers L', owing to the manner of pivoting and supporting them, will beforced vertically into the grain, and will be drawn from the grain inthe same manner, by which means each finger will carry the grain forwardof it to the extent of its Jtravel, and then leave it directly.
